If it's a school in America, they oughta be speakin' English. Irregardless of anything else.

That is totally unrealistic. Where would you ever find 34 people in one place speaking Japanese AND Spanish? Unless it was a school for International Business? (Is it smug to put the answer in a question? I'm feeling rather grumpy and ornery now so I guess adding smug would keep me going in the wrong direction.)

So the answer is F because 17 is half of 34. Thank you, Keithslady.

Joshua came home to say that he got the one about Spanish and Japanese wrong. The answer was 34. Cause Keithslady said so.

Henrietta G. Smarter Pants,
I knew you could do it and I am glad you didn't give up. If you believe you can succeed.

Alright, at first I thought this was a joke question and I didn't know why everyone was trying to answer it seriously.

Carla said...

H)This is a trick question.


I know, Karla. I know. I went with C first and then I thought about it and went with G.
